Today we have a mosaic of two images, both taken the same night by two #Dwarf3 #SmartTelescopes from the roof of the studio at the back of our house, where we left them running all night, with the help of a pair of 10Ah USB-C powerpacks.

I targeted The Cat's Paw Nebula (NGC6334), while @leece targeted part of the nearby NGC6357. We both made sure to have the individual nebulae off-centre frame enough that we could get a slight overlap.

For both we have around 7 hours of exposure - 420ishx60s@80, both with the internal Ha/OIII filter.

We ran both images through the Dwarflab Stellar Studio to do a star removal, and recomposed both images with a star mask. Some final tuning in Snapseed, and then a manual combining of the two shots.

All up, about 2 hours actual effort, over three days.

Lobster Nebula (#NGC6357) and Cat's Paw Nebula (#NGC6334).

Session somehow stalled after I went to bed only got 30 mins in. Good news I can now use a filter with the Samyang 135mm.
